The Sony Shotgun microphone is a must have for those who want to capture the best possible audio in their videos.
TBiscuit –
Much better than the on camera microphones. Used this while filming a wedding with 6 cameras & this had the best audio of all six!
Paul –
Very clear, light and easy to use. Great for the sony a6000 camera model.
TTVu –
This is a great compact microphone to use with Sony camera
Jiggy –
Not bad, very focused sound pickup and very expensive – decided to return.
Infante11 –
Mic is better than the one in the camera and I like that it comes with a cover for air.
Jakedean33314 –
Good mic, not the best but you do get good quality audio
Juice –
It picks up sounds really well. It is worth the cost.
alrebel –
I don’t know if it is just made for a Sony camera, but it would not fit our camera.
Rami01 –
Hi! I have a sony a6100 and I would have to say it worked out better than I thought. I did endless reviews on it and i got to say it didn’t disappoint
Susana –
I purchased the wrong one by mistake. I hope to return this one. I have already ordered the correct one.
jessica –
Decent microphone for the price. Light weight. easy to mount
Breakdown –
This microphone was exactly what I was looking for! You can definitely tell the difference between the built in mic and this one. Especially with the zoom feature!
Roman –
It works well, haven’t had any issues. Sound quality is great.
Bargaincloudhunter –
I have an A7s and the mics on that are better then most so maybe its not a fair comparison but this device was way worse then that.
Steeno –
Bought unit to enhance sound recording on my Canon 7i.
Unit sound pick-up about same as on-board mic. (Near/Far)
Unit did not out preform Canon 7i on-board mic.
PCBuilder –
This microphone fits in the hot shoe on Sony mirrorless cameras like the Sony a6400. Very easy to use, and the sound quality is much better than the built-in microphone.

Smaller than I thought, but I am excited to try it out! Packaged very well and looks great.

We were doing a remote project for work, and I needed to get something quick. This was in stock and not outrageous $, so I ordered and picked up. This is not a studio level mic, but it did what I needed it to do and worked seamlessly.
Emat2000 –
So this isn’t the greatest mic ever but it does the job. It’s small and easy to use. Great for compact shooting and keeping a light setup. The audio is better for a concentrated sound compared to the camera’s on board mic. Another benefit is that you don’t need extra batteries, they are powered by the camera. It doesn’t handle well in wind even with the sleeve it comes with. You’d have to buy an extra dead cat sleeve to handle wind noise. I am disappointed that it doesn’t come included considering how cheap they are.
Kelsey –
Perfect for my purposes. No issues and way setup. Very straightforward and great quality for close range use
JayBee –
Sounds better than the in camera mic, it’s what you’d expect from $100 mic.
Cody –
Works great. Hones in one your distance from the camera and auto adjusts to catch the sound just right.
Not so good: On the Sony A6000 series it blocks the screen in selfie mode
Sorit –
I’m not sure how better it sounds compare to internal recording on my sony a7s iii. It feels cheap, plasticky toy, rather than a tool. It is not worth $100.
It deserves a “Buy Nice or Buy Twice” Warning!
comp1 –
Great little inexpensive “shotgun” mic for Sony cameras. It actually helped me in a pinch in being able to produce some video segments for news broadcast. May not be sufficient in louder environments at distances greater than a few feet.
Yuit –
Great product exactly what I was looking for great price also
Jai79 –
Works great and delivery came ahead of schedule direct to my doorstep! I use this mic for vlogging and it works without cables in the hot shoe of my Sony a7c. I do wish it had a better cover for wind noise but I primarily use for indoor sound isolation.
Jeff –
Cool microphone for our video camera. Easy to set up and use. Cool zoom feature.
Thebaseballrocks –
For its size. It’s very convenient. The price was okay. There weren’t other choices so at least there’s something I can use for my AX700 as a video recording microphone.
Gss66 –
Yes yes we have a couple things we need some work ry Yes yes we can do that we are rgoing have a try Yes yes we can work tomorrow morning and I have some time tomorrow we have a couple days we have some stuff
gardenb –
Great mic, great quality and easy to use. Definitely recommend.
BestBuyCustomer123 –
This seems like it is supposed to be a plug-and-play mic. I could not get this mic to work with my Sony ZV-1. I do NOT recommend this product.
Jaff –
Perfect companion with any older sony that does not have a mic input jack. I am using it with an A6000 but one thing thats a bummer is that zoom mode (shotgun amplification) does not work. Check your manual if that feature is important to you. If not, just get it now. Way better than the internal mic. Best cheap way to up the quality of an older unit.
Monitor –
Great microphone love the sound and quality great.

got it open box to save and its great with my zve10
good sound for my videos

amazing gift really worked well with my sony a7iii
MicrophoneSony –
It is nice and compact and easy to put on any Sony camera. Indoors or in fairly calm conditions outdoors it does a good job of recording audio. But I recently used it outdoors on a gusty day and, even with the wind foam on it, there was way too much noise. Since it has no record volume control of its own, you can only try to minimize the noise by adjusting the audio setting in the camera. So, not good in all situations, but good enough for most indoor shooting.
Yenedic –
Makes A big difference on the sound of the videos
JustGordon –
A very good product for my Zve10 has good sound quality and i like it..!!
Lwood –
Love how simple it is to connect directly to the camera. No wires. Less fuss and just works.

VontaeB –
Quality of the mic is very good and it is easier to travel with
ChrisL –
This has gun and zoom mode but my sony A6000 doesnt support the zoom mode so I returned it.
Sputnik –
Good shotgun microphone and the zoom mic feature works really well with the Sony FX-43A camcorder. Shotgun mic, but not zoom, works with the Sony ZV-1. Not needing an extra cable is a nice bonus.
mlfeagle –
I have only used it a couple times so far. It has worked Okay,
I didn’t have much to choose from.
CodyWoods –
Excellent directional mic. It really focuses on the front and not the sides for audio. It could use some bass but that’s an easy fix in post.
happyziggy –
Bought this for our daughter for her high school video production / newscast class. Does seem superior in its intended use as a narrow field shotgun mic, as opposed to the wider field pick-up of the built in mic on our Sony 4K video camera. Quality item.
Bang4Buck –
Improved overall recovery of sound and real clarity on crowd noise.
Shikhar –
Sits solid on top of my sony handy cam. Significantly reduced noise picked up from nearby people. Good/cheaper option
